Despite these differences, all three possess numerous official releases relating to AI and even its military applications. Moreover, China and the USA have jointly advocated \u2018human control\u2019 over the decision to use nuclear weapons. Yet these seeming points of convergence are in flux. There are increasing signs that China and the USA are integrating AI into nuclear and nuclear-related systems, while India\u2019s AI officials and frameworks avoid nuclear-related transparency. This survey is intended to serve as a baseline for future engagement with and among China, India and the USA on AI and nuclear confidence-building measures.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"field-contents field--label-above\">\n<div class=\"label\">Table of contents<\/div>\n<div class=\"field-items\">\n<div class=\"field-item\">\n<p class=\"p1\">1.
